Rheumatoid Arthritis and eye problems

2018-06-03 14:49:50
Hello, I have a question about my mother (57) who has been suffering from RA for years, currently taking Methotrexate. Now she has a problem with her eyes (dryness, pain, gritty eyes, broken capillaries, photosensitivity). The cornea looks blurry and damaged. This problem has been going on for a year with periodical improvements. During this period, she was taking Maxitrol, now she takes Yellox. Can you tell me Your opinion about a relation between RA and eye problems? Thank you!
